She looks great - I only wish that color was available in 13 when I bought my car. Very nice work.

Hey the exhaust what ya do again? Post manifolds down.
I really enjoyed your build thread and the pics to support the build.
Bummed you're burning out, but I understand.
I appreciate the kind words I'm glad people got something out of it while I had it up. Cheers
What changed? You seemed pump to post pics for a few days after getting the car back. Now youre done with social media. Ok?

I enjoy this thread too. And learned a lot.
I'm pumped there no worries. I have been in a process of deleting everything from the internet for a few months now. There's a lot of I guess more philosophical points to be made as to why I'm abstaining from most of the internet but I kind of really dislike people and I don't think the internet is making things better and I'd rather just not be involved fully and give people access to my life. I hope that makes sense and anyone who needs legitimate help can always message me.

I totally get that. I tend to ignore the BS and things that annoy me, and focus on helping people or getting help.
Thanks for all your knowledge and insights and good luck.

Ok resurrecting this for 2026. Coming back to the internet after a bit to try and do some good for my bros. Starting a nonprofit for Infantrymen like myself with too much combat time. Think equine therapy but with cars. It uses models from
Bessel van der Kolk to essentially use a car for EMDR like therapy. I won't go into the science of it or I'll be here all day but guys with autonomic dis-regulation from too much combat time require autonomically conscience methods that meet them where they are at. The idea is to build up shop teams to support veterans project cars to get that car setup suspension wise to be a good autonomic feedback machine. Things like bushings and other suspension components that connect you to the car are the focus specifically NVH type things.
This is an interview I gave a few years back rounding out the subject matter for anyone interested in the topic. (starts around the 30 minute mark)

So I bought my fabricator some 3d printers and a couple scanners and we're gunna go off a bit. He's a busy guy but in the future anyone who wants to order some stuff from him I'm sure we can get a stream lined process worked out for ya'll
Shot this up at the shop for the boys on the forums since I don't post my cars on social media but I wanted to give everyone a look at the cool body lines that I find really interesting.
it's in slo mo so speed it up some to make it more reasonable.

welcome back and thanks for sharing... that is a great interview and well produced podcast, so many of them kinda suck. excellent interviewOk resurrecting this for 2026.

Thanks boss! Hopefully we can contribute some good stuff to the community. Looking at shooting a lot of media coming up. Been busy with other car problems but hopefully get some good shop time in this summer.
I didn't fall asleep I promise I'll be getting to cool shit on the SHO in the future. Bringing it in to Ford for some tpms tomorrow and seeing if I can get my boy to learn how to code the right info screen on the dash so we can get read outs like oil pressure tire pressure coolant and oil temps iat etc. Had a chat with him today since he's been digging into forscan pretty heavy and we're gunna see what we can do to get us some car data we can easily see.
Been working on a back log of maintenance for the other cars I'll be using for the non profit (technically all my cars have their suspension sorted and can be used as therapy cars). Got my wife's car to the point it just needs one more appointment and some wheels. My C63 is going to be def a time consuming job but that will put us on track to devote some serious shop time after that to modifications. I've also been diving into my photography equipment so we can document future mods etc. as well as possible.
Underbody shots I'm working on getting down
Working on stabilized camera work
This was just a really cool old car my boy is doing some custom work on the headers made by Rover it's a 2000TC (originally made to fit a turbine engine so it has a wacky suspension setup in the front)
Some cool stuff up at the shop (mustang is getting a coyote swap and full rear end with nice coil overs)
more to come in the future I'm just turbo busy doing the logistics of all of this on top of the non profit stuff I'm getting pulled together
